http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/101#101: Platform is broken on Windows 2000 (caball-install and network problems)Mon, 11 Jan 2010 17:06:41 GMTjcpetruzza<p>
When I run cabal.exe on a Windows 2000 it fails with this pop-up:
</p>
<p>
cabal.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point freeaddrinfo could not be located in the dynamic link library WS2_32.DLL.
</p>
<p>
This was metioned <a class="ext-link" href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1415309/problem-using-network-package-in-ghc"><span class="icon">before</span></a> but I couldn't find a report here. The problem will most probably go away once <a class="ext-link" href="http://trac.haskell.org/network/ticket/5"><span class="icon">this</span></a> bug is fixed. In the meantime I would suggest making the windows installer "XP or later only" to avoid bad user experiences.

http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/45#45: A source build of HP recommends a non-standard use of 'sudo'Sat, 09 May 2009 23:55:08 GMTTelemachus<p>
HP recommends 'sudo' twice - after the initial ./configure and after the 'make' step of building. This is not a show-stopper and experienced *nix folks can adjust 'sudo' to 'su' for a global install, but it strikes me as odd to consistently assume a use of 'sudo' that as far as I know applies by default only to a few distros (Ubuntu and OS X, not sure who all else).

http://trac.haskell.org/haskell-platform/ticket/53#53: Provide uninstall instructions for release candidatesTue, 02 Jun 2009 20:53:52 GMTtibbe<p>
I believe that more people would be willing to try out release candidates if they knew how to get rid of them afterward. I assume most people already have a Haskell installation they don't want to override until the final release (and perhaps not even then). I suggest we provide simple uninstall instructions with release candidates.
